Autumn Hill Vineyards

Ed and Avra Schwab, along with their three children, began planting the vineyards in 1979. Today we have 13 acres planted of Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Viognier grapes. In 1986 the original winery produced 300 cases of Chardonnay and Riesling. As the vineyard matured, our production soon outgrew the start up winery and in 1989 our present modern winery was constructed.

Directions15 miles north of Charlottesville, VA Rt. 29 to Rt. 33 west at Ruckersville, 2 miles to Quinque. Left at Rt. 633 (Amicus Road) for 6.5 miles to end at Rt. 603 (Bingham Mtn. Road), left for 1 mile to winery on left.

Petit Verdot is one of Bordeaux"s classic red wine grapes. Deep ruby in color and long lived this is a wine to be savored. Combing 50% Petit Verdot with 50% Merlot produces a wine with great depth and concentration.
